I feel like this is more about confusing functionality and bad UI more than it is about LinkedIn being evil. Seems like you're on the global network search and you're applying a filter to remove everyone who's not your 1st degree connection. However, the search engine isn't smart enough to not apply the API limits in this case since you're technically only searching your own network. There is however a page that does what you want under My Network tab [1]

Yes, that link provides a list of all my connections, so we've made progress. However, they don't allow filtering on anything but first or last name. Pretty limited, but yes, they do let users see all their connections.

There's a button "Search with filters" right next to the search box.
